May 29, 2026 - Washington, D.C. — On Thursday, Oversight Democrats released the following statement following the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) confirmation that then-Attorney General Pam Bondi’s transcribed interview will not be videotaped for the American people.

“Pam Bondi was at the heart of a White House cover-up and Oversight Chairman James Comer is working to hide her testimony from the American people. The survivors and the American people deserve to see her respond to real questions about her mismanagement and cover-up of the Epstein files,” said Sara Guerrero, spokesperson for Oversight Democrats.

In March, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform voted with bipartisan support on a motion by Rep. Nancy Mace to subpoena then-Attorney General Pam Bondi. On April 14, 2026, Pam Bondi refused to appear for her deposition before the Oversight Committee, despite the lawful bipartisan subpoena the Committee issued. The subpoena followed the Department of Justice’s botched release of the Epstein files and the continued White House cover-up.
